Happy Shark Week!! (and CAS card)

Today marks that official day that only comes once a year, but is most possibly the best week of the year next to Christmas...

HAPPY SHARK WEEK!

In honor of such a fantastic 7 days of educational shark programming on the Discovery Channel, I have created this Shark Week side-step card...

"show me your teeth" seems to be the motto of Shark Week this year. I thought it was really cute to have everything so happy and cartoonish! All of the die-cuts are from Lettering Delights' 'Something Fishy' set. The shark I used is actually what LD called a dolphin, but the shark they had looked more like a pathetic little guppy... definitely was not going to fly! I put together all of the cuts using Make-the-Cut software and my Silhouette SD machine. I added some Stickles and some blue rhinestones to look like bubbles... this card turned out way better than I thought it would! Let's just say it's been a rough technical difficulty kind of day with my SD and MTC... sigh

I also made a card for the CAS-ual Fridays blog. This week you had to create a card that was 9" x 4" definitely not your typical shape card! And try to embrace the white space you'll be left with. I made a birthday card for a family member...

CAS-ual Friday card entry

CAS-ual Friday entry, close up

This is my first entry to the CAS-ual challenge, I loved that it was something different! The majority of the cuts are from a die cut stack by Me and my Big Ideas, a few bling bits and some cotton candy stickles.

Will you be tuning in for Shark Week tonight? I know I will! And the measurements for my side-step card will be Tuesday's How-To so come back in a couple days!
